Cookie Dough For Breakfast

In my continuing efforts to keep the baby weight at bay, I’m always on the lookout for ways to treat myself without consuming a gazillion calories, or filling up on foods that have little to no nutritional value.

Enter healthy cookie dough! I found the recipe here, and made a few modifications to suit my tastes.

It sounds weird. You must try it, and tell me what you think. I think it’s a revelation.

Healthy Cookie Dough

The players.

1 can chickpeas, rinsed and drained

2 Tablespoons almond butter

1 Tablespoon light butter

1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon baking soda

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 Tablespoons chocolate chips

Combine all ingredients into a food processor (I used my Ninja), and blend until VERY smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Devour.

The whole recipe is 720 calories, so I ate half and called it breakfast. What? Chickpeas have 12 grams of fiber, 15 grams of protein, and 26% of your daily iron requirement per serving! Bow down.
